Reading AI output significantly hurts my brain. There is something in the way that a lot of models compose sentences that breaks my brain so quickly unlike real human output. Can we make it stop.

Maybe this is to on the nose? I have a lot of feelings about AI generated "art". #twitch #solodev #indiedev Streaming live now while I finish this level: fxb.gg/stream

How quickly excitement to release can turn into dread to release the game. A side project when there are just not enough days between work and parenting to get everything you want to do done and still sleep so you can show up the next day. #sologamedev #indiegamedev #twitch #steam #typing #gamedev

I've got to give myself a little grace, but it's hard juggling family, work and a side project. I'm trying to finish a new level in Typing Stars and it feels like I'm making no progress when working on it between the cracks of time. I'm live on twitch right now trying to finish it. fxb.gg/twitch

Can I build a new game level in 2 hours? No. Not even close to 3. But refactoring my level and word logic has made it much easier to tackle challenging level ideas quicker. There is a lot to build in 25 days. #solodev #indiedev #devlog fxb.gg

When you realize the AI is maybe not as friendly and willing to help you and your crew mates like you may have thought. Working through a refactor now so that I can add more levels to the game. Live now at twitch.tv/itsflannelbe... #indiegamedev #solodev #twitch #gamedev

The struggles of solo development on a side project. Tough week from a productivity standpoint, though I did manage to carve out some morning time and move things forward. #gamedev #indiegamedev #sologamedev #twitch

I hope people enjoy playing my silly game. Typing Stars is a part of Next Fest and there is a demo available to play now! store.steampowered.com/app/3316570/... #nextfest #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #twitch #steam

It feels surreal to see Typing Stars on the main page of Next Fest. It never feels real, and it's scary to put something out into the world, but it's going to become real soon. Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3316570/... #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #steam #nextfest #typinggame

I've been trying, and struggling to tell a story without spelling it out. This post wasn't originally about this. I started working on this as tanks rolled into Ukraine, now I'm watching executions on the streets of US. There is a deep undertone of anxiety and anger throughout... #indiedev #gamedev

Some days feel like death by a thousand papercuts. Spent two hours solving overlapping transparent game objects causing additive opacity. Using shader voodoo thanks to Claude, I got it working. Back to building this weird little typing game...

Progress feels slow at times, but it's progress. Adding new end game animations with some flavour text for world building. Trying to finish by Next Fest. Help. Live now twitch.tv/itsflannelbe...

The last 5% is kicking my ass. The technical debt in one of my main game classes is slowing me down and making changes difficult. But we're getting closer to finishing the boss-level sequencing.. almost. Hang out while I wrestle with my poor coding decisions live RIGHT NOW twitch.tv/itsflannelbeard

I'm back to working on game play after spending way too much time building a diegetic menu system. I've had this idea for a ship moving minigame since the beginning, but I haven't been able to make it fun. There's a lot to do but I'm testing out a simpler typing movement mechanic. #gamedev

The Twitch Game Dev community is excellent for the immediate feedback a solo game dev receives. Here's an updated version of yesterday's work with the explosion. It is not confined to the computer monitor in-game instead of the whole screen. Thanks for the feedback @moonizz.bsky.social

The last 5% of any project is the most difficult. It's easy to build a prototype, but small things like these little asteroid explosion animations add that professional touch needed to ship a game.

I just found out that Typing Stars was written about over at @pcgamer.com. That's freaking cool. It makes my day knowing that random people are finding and enjoying this silly game I've made. www.pcgamer.com/games/typing...

Typing Stars is meant to be a relaxing 'straightforward game that helps you master typing speed and accuracy,' but it just completely stresses me out

I feel like I'm back in school.

Today, I worked on the leaderboard on stream. Updating the fonts and adding more names. It's wild to think that over 100 people have tried the demo and scored on the leaderboard. I hope to update the demo soon so everyone can keep playing as we ramp up the finishing touches on Typing Stars.

Pushing forward to a steam release for the with the little typing game that could. You can catch me on twitch every day and wishlist on steam for the eventual release!
